"The visual is as much a part of a food experience as the taste, so I take my time when shooting photos. Only when I'm happy with the photos can anyone dig in, by which time the food is usually going cold." – Eshé Brown, Foodie Eshé

"When restaurants have invite-only launches, they rarely serve anything that resembles a full menu. It's like judging the whole of David Bowie's career by The Laughing Gnome." – Jonathan Swain, The Plate Licked Clean

"With recipe posts, what you see is never all that was made. It's plated up sparingly for aesthetic purpose. After I've taken photos, I chuck everything left over on top." – Michael Bell, Mikey and the Kitchen
